But I am always interested in what Fincher chooses to work on, so we'll have to wait and see. If done right, this could be a very important film.

But I don't know what control Fincher will have after it's written of course.

Personally, I do want to see a theatrical version of The Maxx but it would have to be as bugged-out as you and I desire. I think Spike Jonze could deliver it, and it definitely shares semblance with WTWTA to some extent. I never tied my arm to the Liquid Television series like I did to The Maxx comics, but the episodes were cool. It was similar to Spawn on HBO (no comment from me on the Spawn movie, ugh). If Aeon Flux can become a movie (never saw it), The Maxx def can. And remember "The Specialists" on LTV? I thought Stallone's film was related to those episodes up until I saw it. My lil' brother was pissed! Hah. Those who know, know. @ OC

(by the way, sam keith has a wolverine/hulk mini-series from a few years back that is one of the best i've ever read. good sloppy drawings/artwork, with a trippy ass story) 1) like you said hunter, fincher with a graphic novel of this content is a homerun. sex doesn’t necessarily need the PR boost, but safe sex certainly does. its a good comparson to the tragedy of requiem/heroin/keith david.

The book has an almost Elephant Man element to those who have STDs. It's possible Fincher will handle the material well, but certian elements of how the STDs are presented are so off-putting, it may be a total turn-off to a lot of audience members. Hard to say, but an excellent idea to adapt this! Looking forward to it!!! Wow, this will be VERY interesting material to adapt. The book has an almost Elephant Man element to those who have STDs.
